Harper's "Golden Ale"
ABV 4.1%; £1.09 at ALDI
Not as strong as their Amber Ale although at the same price. Very refreshing after food Edit: since writing this, Golden Ale has appeared in an all-new bottle with a snazzy Union flag bottletop - strange thing is that it's now ABV 4.5%

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
ABV 5.6%; £1.00 at B&M Stores
A small 355ml bottle but with a big punch - this crisp pale ale tastes almost like a dark beer with its full and satisfying bitterness; maybe you Yanks know how to brew proper beer after all

Just received a few different beers amongst my fathers day presents off the kids.
Nothing special but coming from my kids makes them kinda priceless if you know what I mean. I'll take a picture or two soon.

Yes the one above was the first of this year's Fathers Day batch - along with a bottle of Lamb's. I've tried no end of fancy rums but I always come back to Lamb's

Pleasant, creamy, frothy pale ale. Very nice to have with my pizza on Fathers Day

Wickwar 'Golden Arrow' pale ale
ABV 6.1%; B&M Stores
Nice alcohol hit in this strong pale ale - a sound and vaguely fruity flavour, but overall a strong ale to be enjoyed on its own rather than with food

Robinsons Special Edition Label
ABV 4.7% from B&M Stores
A nut-coloured ale with a malty bitterness tempered by a soft sweetness; very nice to drink slowly Apparently produced in co-operation with Iron Maiden's vocalist Bruce Dickinson - I wonder whether that just means they kept pouring it down his throat until he fell over. Moira got this for me just because it's got a zombie on the label and she's a big zombie fan

Marston's "Mythos" Hellenic Beer
5% ABV, from B&M Stores
What a beautiful beer - a blonde with none of the reedy wheat tastes you might expect - just a soft honeyed flavour with a strong alcoholic punch

Harper's IPA
Alc. 5.5%; £1.29 from ALDI Stores
It does what it says: a very hoppy, strongly bitter ale and very enjoyable on its own. It's described on the till receipt as "American IPA" - despite the neat Union Flag bottle cap and the legend "Proudly brewed in Britain" on the neck label

The Kraken (black spiced rum)
Moira always makes up a goodie bag for me to enjoy on UK Fathers Day - chocs, nuts potato chips and - of course - something nice to drink. Amongst the bottles and bags today was this special rum I've not seen before. It's like Lamb's Navy Rum but even smoother, with a spicy (but not hot spicy) note. The best rum I've ever tasted, I'd say, and it's on offer at Tesco Stores for a Special Price of £20 (normally £26 or £28 she tells me)

Kraken is one of the better makes and one I enjoy on occasion but I don't recall seeing it in that type of bottle.
My ankle biters got me the latest TOON top from Adidas and a case of mixed golden beers. Mustn't forget the bar of chocolate from my granddaughter
